Shooter 2.5 quoted from the article: "Lawyers for the Department of Justice said the high court need not test that principle now."

Wasn't it the, now politically incorrect, Brer Rabbit story in which the rabbit begs not to be thrown into the briar patch when in fact that is what is desired?

Perhaps Ashcroft is taunting the Supreme Court by suggesting that their opinion isn't needed. Since the District Appeals Courts are not in agreement, the Supreme Court is duty bound to clarify this issue. Perhaps someone can remind me how many Justices must agree in order to grant "cert".

Brer Rabbit. Maybe. I would hate to think that the administration would be so scared to have such a change in our culture. Think about it. Every single CCW law could be reversed. I think there would still be the yellow forms and the ATF. I can't wait for tomorrow and read about the MMM. This just might be the thing to push old Sarah over the edge.
